But I checked and you're       right.              That leaves the problem that I immediately recognize the lyrics, but       the version I must have heard couldn't have been by any of the people       you mention.              I can't figure out who though. It was something that got air play,       and I thought someone pretty big, in some fashion. But I can't figure       out who performed the version that's running in my head at the moment.              Whoever it was, it was so distant from Malvina Reynolds that I had       to assume she hadn't written it.               Michael              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
